The Verdict Is In.

You read it right and I shit you not. *bow*

So..
  • I wasn't able to watch Grey's Anatomy last night. I looked forward to that episode pa naman. I wanted to cry over Izzie's crying. Guess it has to wait till this weekend. Hmpf.
  • JackTV and ETC are both out. Nooo. :[
  • My phone is busted. Again. I'm currently using my bro's pocket PC. It's cool, but not suited for my text-trained thumbs.
  • I'm trying to rid myself of insomnia. Making progress, I think. :]
  • My current read is Memoirs of a Geisha. I know, I know. I'm eons behind all you people. You don't have to yell at me. *sob sob*
  • My dad gave me a pack of Hello bars. It was the most he came up with yesterday.
  • I'm reminding myself of how I should get a haircut for college. I want my hair short again.
  • I bloghopped through all my links yesterday. Wee. :]

Ok, ok...

So I'm painfully delaying every second of revelation. But since my summer's not all that packed with stories to tell and I've run out of ideas to jot down, I guess I'm really going to reveal the "verdict" right about now.

zZzzZzzzZ...

*jerks awake*
Oh. Yeah. The verdict.

One word: Silliman.

Yes. I am so going to Dumaguete. Yey.

Somewhere in Between.

Katamaran. Ka-emo-han. Katamaran ulit. Yan yung mga dahilan kung bakit ngayon lang ako nakapag-post. Hehe.

Haaay. Feeling ko tuloy zombie ako lately. (Apir Bunso Zombie a.k.a Aldie Eustaquio! HAHA!) Nagpupuyat ako sa pagmukmok. Pagkagising ko, titingnan-tingnan ko lang ang paligid ko hoping na may extraordinary stuff na mangyari. Wala eh. Boring.

Natutunan ko na ring i-adopt yung kwarto as my home. As much as possible, di ako lalabas. Syempre pwera na lang kung maliligo ako, magsi-CR, kukuha ng pagkain, etc. At kasabay nun, di ko na rin kinakausap yung mga tao dito. Uh-huh. Piping zombie nga. At most ay mga tatlong five-word sentences lang ang nasasabi ko. Na-master ko na nga ata ang art ng facial expressions at head and hand gestures. Magaling na rin ako sa one-word games. Trust me.

Bakit nga ba ako nagkakaganito? *kunot-noo*

Hayun. Kagabi gumawa ako ng letter para sa parents ko. Wala lang. Sinabi ko lang dun lahat ng gusto kong sabihin. Eh kasi naman sila, ang gulo. Papalit-palit sila ng college plans para sa 'kin. Di ko na tuloy alam kung ano ba talaga gusto ko.

Sabi kasi nila na sa Ateneo de Zamboanga University na raw talaga ako. Ako naman, kahit ayaw, tinanggap na lang. After nga nun, naging OK na talaga ako sa fact na yun. Masaya na rin ako sa dinecide nila for me. Tapos... TAPOS! Hayun. Nung isang araw biglang kumatok si Mama para sabihin na sa Silliman University na raw aq. ANO RAW?! o_O

Dapat nga ako matuwa, di ba? Kasi ang first and most loved choice ko ay SU. Pero bakit ganun? Ngayon lang kasi nila sinabi. Ngayon pa na naintindihan at na-accept ko na lahat. Ngayon pa na naka-set na ang focus ko sa ADZU. Dapat nga ba ako matuwa sa sinabi nila? At isa pa, ayokong i-enroll nila ako dun dahil alam nilang dun ko gusto. Gusto ko kasi na gustuhin rin nila akong mapunta dun. Kung di rin lang talaga sila totally in favor sa pag-stay ko dun, wag na sana nila subukang mag-adjust para sa wants ko. Trabaho ko ang mag-adjust para sa situation, para sa kung ano'ng pwede at di pwede sa akin. Kaya ko naman eh. Naiintindihan ko naman lahat eh.

Sana lang rin naintindihan nila yung drama ko sa letter na yun. Iniwan ko na sa kanila ang decision between ADZU and SU. Kung piliin man nila ang ADZU, sana dahil yun yung convenient para sa amin. Kung piliin man nila ang SU, sana dahil yun yung tingin nila ay dine-deserve ko. Kahit saan naman, OK na sa 'kin. It's a win-win situation naman for me. Si God na lang talaga bahala. Wish me loads of luck na lang. :]

pictuuuuures!

I'm too lazy to really write stuff so I figured I'd post some of the pictures I promised eons ago. (Take note: some. I said I feel lazy, ok?) Hehe. At last! Pictures! ^__^ Still haven't found the digi cam's cord, though. Thank God for pocket PCs. :]


March 31, 2007. Graduation rites held at Summit Centre. Whoopee! ^___^

Clink and clank. I received some stuff. Not a total loser after all. LOL. (Look! Our principal - the woman in the printed blouse - wore that! *gasp* :|

Pledge of loyalty. We were actually laughing our asses off. Couldn't really hear the pledge so we made words up. ^___^

After poetry comes music. We sang Seasons Of Love (the OST of Rent) and That's What Friends Are For.

The newest graduate of the fam. Daddy, Kaka Min, ME!, Mama. :]

Now you see the toga, now you don't. (next pic)

Wee. Meet my dress, Helena. xx (The shoes killed my poor feet that night. *sniff*)


That night. Our Graduation Ball, for real! Look at the backdrop! Look! Haha.

Girl power. We're not exactly girly girls. Don't be fooled!

Cake 101. I had to make a wish before slicing up our batch cake. Hmm... guess it went something like "blah blah... not separate hearts".

Mama, Kaka, ME!, my cake, and... some random guy who got into our picture. Haha. :P

♥ Random Guy a.k.a Ajan made me really realize how short I am. Naka-stilettos na 'ko dyan ha. Hehe.

The party didn't end there. Before getting to the sayawan kuno part, the girls screamed Lindsay Lohan's "Ultimate". Thanks to Groove Street, by the way.


April 1, 2007. After the afterparty, we had an afterparty afterparty in Room 316. :]

Male & Female Stars of the Night. Haha. No one else seemed to want the award...

Love ya, b*tch. (Pardon the language, it doesn't mean anything anyway) Cyril the Gigolo and Mars the Wh*re. HAHA! We kid a lot. :]

We made a mess. Oops. (Nakapikit pa si Louie. Haha.)


When I got home...
I grabbed the bouquet Ajan gave me and clicked away. ;]

Ain't it pwetty? ♥


April 2, 2007.
We went to school coz our freshies had a surprise for us raw. Aba, those chikitings punk'd us pa. Haha. Sweetness. And the gift was a...

Scrapbook! Yeah! They made a scrapbook for us! ^___^




Hayun. We were all so happy. Hehe. Graduation was a blast! The best way to exit from a place we call AEMSHS. ^___^

Lame end, I know. I'm lazy nga eh! :P

The Couch Patatas.

Talagang mahal ko yung mga mokong sa taas. Scroll down to the bottom of this page at makikita niyo kung bakit ko nasabi yan. Heheh. Wala lang. Nagka-idea tuloy ako sa next format ng blog ko. Heheh. :]

Let's try to refresh things around here, shall we? Well, for a change, I'm not going to whine about how summer's killing me with boredom. Instead, I am going to tell you guys what's been keeping me alive so far. Heheh. :]

Mars the Couch Patatas is officially back in business, baby. So watching too much TV is not entirely healthy. But hey, if it keeps me sane and happy, then I don't care that much. Hahah. And I don't watch TV the whole day naman. I take time off to read, take a bath and blog. Hahah. Exciting life, eh? *rolls eyes*

My eyes started gluing itself to the TV screen at about the same time my ass started gluing itself to my seat. Loko lang. I think it started last Holy Week. Since my penitensya comprised of no Globe Unlitxt registration, no net-surfing, no laag and no life, I've resorted to making this layout and watching 7th Heaven marathons. It was great, actually. I kinda missed the Camdens. And from there, I've awaken my inner TV-holic.

Now that the 7th Heaven phase is once again over (sob sob), I kinda like to call myself an official STAR WORLD addict. I wake up at around eight in the morning, take a sip of the room temperature choco health drink that my parents prepare early on, get back inside the bedroom and lock the TV screen on Channel 37. (I didn't mention breakfast, did I? That's because I'm lazy and take my brunch at 2PM. LOL) I'm not saying that I like everything on Star World. But from a bored weird girl's point of view, it's starting to be the number one decent thing on TV.

My personal faves would have to be the Monday Night Laughs lineup, reruns of FRIENDS (Yep, still haven't moved on. Haha!), Grey's Anatomy, American Idol (I saw Sanjaya sing Besame Mucho a while back. It wasn't bad... but he sure still is weird), Fashion House, Hope & Faith, Criminal Minds, and PRISON BREAK. I know, I know... some of these shows are eons behind actual release. Who cares anyway? Certainly not me. :P

Cute Poison: Wentworth Miller is the reason why Star World rocks all the more. ♥

I'm guessing that being a couch potato will get me through the remaining idle days. That is, if I don't get to "level up" and find something more fun and productive to do. Until then, *girl VO* "you are watching Star World". ♥

P.S. I really love that song in the new Sony Ericsson Walkman Phone ad. Yeah, the anniversary one. Sino me alam nun?

Imbalance. Again.

This summer rewards me tons and tons of free time. Ha, like that's a good thing! I'm left with more time to mope about how my life isn't so sweet after all. I'm seriously reconsidering everything going on right now (e.g. COLLEGE). And as much as I'd like to blog about every single detail in my side of the universe, I feel the *insert appropriate term here* of not doing so. Why? Because some of the people who visit my blog actually know me in person. And in person, I'm really that reserved. I guess I'm not ready for semi-drastic changes just yet.

Anyway...

I had loads of fun yesterday with mates Alyssa, Cyril and Kikay. We snuck ice cream inside the cinema! Wee! Hahah. Good thing the guard didn't further check into Kikay's bag. But I guess there's always a downfall with every pasaway deed. In this case, we had no spoon to scoop all that ice cream with. Hahah. Ayun, we resorted to making our frozen goodies Mr. Chips dip. Labo. Hahah. T'was yummy, though. vv,

HAPPY MONTHSARY, MIO DEE! ♥

Hahah. He's not even here in Zamboanga. OK lang. Babawi naman yun when he gets back. vv,


P.S. I finally got my haloscan fixed! Hurrah! Click the "scream" link, dali! Hahah. :P

The End Was a Blast.

Happy Easter Sunday, everyone! :]

It's soo nice to be alive in the blogging scene once more. :] As you can see, I've changed my layout. It's now all green and happy. Haha. The people in my header are my dear high school classmates. Aww. There's only eight of them and they're the BOMB! :] I miss those losers. Haha.

And yeah... I wonder why Haloscan refuses to work properly with my new layyie. Sad naman. I have to use Blogger's own comment system from now on. Tsk. I also decided to create new more organized blogrolls but they went wacko. I'm officially back to the mano-mano system. Hehe.

--

As promised, I'll be giving you a glimpse on how our graduation went. Starting with... how I looked. Haha. The black glittery stilettos I bought went perfectly with my dress. Emo Helena. Haha. :] (Pics coming up soon, I hope. Waa. I gotta find my USB cord.)

The rites started later than 2PM. Tut tut. I can't believe I was marching down this grad aisle for the third time in my young life. The feeling was oh-so-familiar. I guess my classmates and I were all nervous and excited at the same time 'coz we ended up chattering away. Haha. And yeah... My daydreams of Ajan hanging the Journalist of the Year medal on me didn't take place. Not that I'm complaining. Haha. :D

Our guest speaker was an alumnus of AEMSHS Batch '94 and he was easy to listen to. He was light in delivering his speech, playing a game of "Guess Whose Philosophy In Life This Is". I actually blushed when he read mine out loud. Haha.

Never think anyone's better than you and that you are better than everyone else.


Haha. Ang taray, di ba? :D

So, there... since there were only eight of us (not counting Junbi because the dude broke my heart by not attending that day- a different story, painful to bring up... but I totally understand him and I love him still), the shortest graduation rites ended at around 4PM. My mates and our families decided to freshen ourselves at home and meet up at 6 in the Orchid Ballroom of the Garden Orchid Hotel where our afterparty will be held.

Ajan, being the cute creep that he is, needed extra lambing just so I could make him come over the ball. HAHA. He did come with a bouquet of flowers. Weirdo. HAHA! I love him sooobra.

And I also loved-loved-loved everything about that party! We had a huge batch cake and nine small cakes for each member of our class. We also had a band. And finally, after eons of wishing, my girlfriends and I performed our astig band skills in front of people. Sila lang, actually. I got stuck to being the pinaka-loser vocalist. Major absentee kasi that's why I didn't have time to practice any of the instruments. Hmpf. Haha. Some of our ex-classmates were there! Kudos to Jacob, JJ, Geno and Louie for attending! Haha. Almost all AEMSHSians were present, too. But the faculty was missing, FORTUNATELY. (Kidding. I still wanted them there.) Where the heck were they? Lost? Phbbbt! >:P

Basta... everything was GREAT! My mates and I even slept over in one of the hotel rooms. Sosyal. HAHA. Bonding to the max churva eklavu. Hahaha. :D

--

To my dear classmates, BATCH 1807, you guys are the bestest best mates I could ever wish for. I hope that even in distance (e.g. layo ng WMSU sa ADZU), we'd continue to love and treasure each other in our unique Batch i8o7 way. Love you, mga 'tol!

Some Quiet Time..

Blog break for the Holy Week! (:

I'm gonna be back with tales of my graduation and the awesome episodes after that. Hehe. Not to mention the drama that slowly builds up inside me due to lots of free thinking time. Aww. :[

Ok, ok. Gotta scram now kasi I'm getting all warmed up to really blog na. Hehe.

Later, everyone! Have a blessed Lent. God bless you all. Muuaaah! ♥

P.S. Maybe I'd have a new layout by the time I get back. Wish me luuuck. :]
